What is the Multicard at Georgian ski resorts, and how do you use it?
How the card works and what to do if a pass will not open the turnstile.
Short answer
The Multicard is a physical reusable card from operator MTA that carries your ski pass and works at lift gates, and it can be topped up for any season. You must use the physical card itself, because electronic tickets and QR codes cannot be used for lift access. Last year's card can be reused.
Why
- The operator requires you to carry the physical Multicard on the lifts.
- The card can be topped up and reactivated at any time for any season.
- If an online pass fails, the ticket office needs the card code and the pass code.
Details
You can reuse last year's Multicard: it is topped up and reactivated at any time, for any season. The buyer and the person using a pass can be different people, but you must not use another person's personalised pass or give false cardholder information. If you lose a pass, report it to the resort ticket office.
If an online pass does not work at the turnstile, give the ticket office two codes: the 23-digit code printed on the front of the physical Multicard and the 12-digit activation code of the pass, which you request from the online sales channel. Students can order online only a new student Multicard; see the question on ski resorts in Georgia.
Tip
Photograph the front of the card with the 23-digit code in advance: you will need it at the ticket office if the online pass fails.
What may differ
Refunds, replacement of a lost pass and use of one pass at different resorts depend on the pass type and terms. 2026/27 prices were not published on the check date.
Common misconception
You can get onto a lift with a QR code on your phone.
What actually happens
You need the physical Multicard: electronic tickets and QR codes cannot be used for lift access.
